After years of constructive consultation with young classical musicians from over 20 countries, a dynamic approach was jointly developed in order to help such musicians meet the challenges of the 21st century. To do so, new skills are needed, and approaches that enable them to deepen their connection with a rapidly changing global society.

Through an annual enCORE live event and a series of digital “town halls”, we have begun building a global community of young musicians that support one another, identifying innovative new projects by young musicians to which we provide startup microgrants. enCORE events are training experiences that complement ones’ artistic education, focused around 3 themes: Experience Innovation, Skills Development & Social Impact.
